Everything`s Bigger in Texas

With the Choctaw Casino just a stone`s throw from the Texas-Oklahoma border, it`s no surprise to see a pair of Texans rising towards the top of the counts in the early going.

Austin`s Ben Logan found a set of jacks against a pair of aces was enough to get his stack headed skyward in just the first few levels. He has continued chipping up as the day has progressed and having the best of it most of the time has left him sitting on a 40k stack here in the fifth level.

In the meantime, San Antonio`s Richard Lee has amassed a little over 45k without getting in a single big pot.

``No double ups,`` he explained. ``Just chipping up.``
